Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer In Song

Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836–1870) is widely considered the quintessential Spanish Romantic author. His poetry was crucial in the establishment of the Spanish Lied, and its impact on Spanish music has been far-reaching. Song settings of Bécquer’s ‘Rimas’ span over a century and feature breath-taking variety, offering unique insights into the evolution of Spanish art song.

Jennifer Hamilton and Ricardo Gosalbo direct Trinity Laban singers and pianists in this performance with a programme of songs by celebrated composers such as Manuel de Falla, Joaquín Turina and Federico Mompou, as well as lesser-known gems by Enrique Fernández Arbós and José María Guervós.
